Biomarker

Albumin and C-reactive protein have been recently studied as prognostic biomarkers for other types of cancer. Because varying levels of albumin and c-reactive protein have been associated with different tumor types, there has been intense interest in its value as a prognostic marker for cancer. The beauty of using these molecular

processes, and pharmacological responses to a therapeutic intervention, acts as biomarkers 122 And using a combination of host and site specific markers provid accurately assesses to periodontal disease status, because of the complex, multifaceted nature of periodontal disease, it is highly unlikely that a single biomarker will prove to be a stand alone measure for periodontal disease diagnosis. 127-131 GCF as a biomarker: To defeat some of the troubles associated with the measurement of conventional

diseases/conditions, can change the oxygen, glucose levels or blood pressure in the body. The biosensor could potentially result in faster treatment for paramedics when in contact of an unconscious person. The paramedics would be able to look at the patient's’ biomarkers stream and will help them to treat the patient faster, potentially saving their life. In hospitals, it could help aid doctors to better monitor a patient’s health. The profusa biosensor allows the doctor to keep track of the patients’ health even

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by chronic, erosive polyarthritis and the presence of numerous autoantibodies in the serum and synovial fluid and membrane. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease that manifests in multiple joints of the body. The inflammation leads to erosions in the cartilage and bone and can cause joint deformity. Individuals with RA often experience pain and swelling of the joints. It was estimated in 2005 that 1.5 million people

.2.1 Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) PSA is a biomarker that is regularly used clinically for screening and diagnosis of prostate cancer. It was discovered in 1972 while trying to find a substance in seminal fluid that would aid in the research of medical cases. Papsidero and associates measured PSA quantitatively in the blood in 1980, which was stated to be a clinical use as a marker for prostate cancer. PSA exists in small quantities in the serum of normal men, and it is raised higher in the presence

One of the most fundamental questions in science currently is whether we are alone in the universe. All the terrestrial planets, such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, show evidence of volcanic activities in their past.1,2 Mars is the only location where budgetary and technological constraints permit access and is also considered as having had the most likely planet for sustaining life.1–5 The surface conditions of Mars presently appear hostile to life,6 and thus we rely on evidence that the planet

Abstract Genetic instability and the accumulation of several molecular alterations are the cause of cancers through the development of a proliferative cell mass. However, it is restricted to the current prognostic and diagnostic classifications since there is no reflection of the entire tumor clinical heterogeneity. Therefore, they are not sufficient in making predictions for the adequate treatment of patients. The chances of survival for the patients suffering from cancer normally depends on the

potency and inhibitory activity against specific activating mutation, while showing significantly less activity against wild type mutations, made testing specific sensitizing mutation necessary. (1) (EGFR) T790M mutation a successful example of a biomarker for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment with Osimertinib that gained a wide acceptance in clinical practice in Europe and US (), One question that needs to be asked, however, is whether testing for similar mutations in different cancer will

MDI-exposed/sensitized and control mice. In addition, mmu-miRs-30d and -153-3p were not detectable in either MDI-exposed/sensitized or control mice (data not shown). To sum up, circulating mmu-miRs-183-5p, -206-3p and -381-3p may serve as potential biomarker for dermal MDI exposure/sensitization. Circulating miRs validation in nose-only aerosol exposure mouse model MDI exposure route in the occupational environment is thought to be mostly through inhalation and dermal contact {NIOSH, 2004 #145}.
